If my old 2004 F250 had a stick instead of auto trans I would have a greater towing capacity. Wouldn’t that have to do with warranty instead of safety?
Yes, GCWR is to protect the drive train, for warranty purpose. In many cases though, the auto is rated more than stick.

The reason for the higher Tow ratings in the 1990’s and earlier 2000’s was the automatic transmissions were not as strong as the manuals. Nowadays the automatics are stronger, Ram has dropped the manual for 2019, they were the last holdout.
